The Knothole Freedom Fighters[1] are the main protagonists of the Sonic the Hedgehog television series. They are one of the first Freedom Fighters groups to be formed, based and operating out of Knothole Village, and, like other groups, were opposed to the tyranny of Mobius' former despot Dr. Robotnik, and as such spent over a decade fighting his reign via guerrilla warfare and sabotage.

History

Formation

The original members of the Knothole Freedom Fighters, Sonic, Princess Sally, Rotor, Bunnie and Antoine, were children evacuated to the hidden village of Knothole in the Great Forest following the fall of Mobotropolis to Dr. Robotnik in 3224.[2][3] There, the children formed the Knothole Freedom Fighters with themselves as the teams' main core, all in the name of their primary objective: to defeat Robotnik forever and restore peace to Mobius. For most of their career however, the Knothole Freedom Fighters believed they were the only Freedom Fighter cell, oblivious to the existence of the other groups around Mobius.[4]

Activities

Despite being only a small band, with time, the group would stand out among the rest as a major force to be reckoned with. Their members, led by Sonic and Sally, quickly gained experience and intelligence with time, performing many operations against Robotnik; launching guerrilla tactics, sabotaging supply lines, destroying factories, interfering with his projects etc., effectively doing anything to hamper and/or ruin Robotnik's plans.[5][6][7][8]

While achieving many victories, the group never had any major breakthroughs in the war with Robotnik. Along the way, they would also experience their own fair shares of defeats, as well as losses of allies and loved ones.[3][4][5][6]

Around 3235, the Knothole Freedom Fighters learned of the other Freedom Fighter groups from Ari.[4] Establishing a Freedom Fighter network, the Knothole Freedom Fighters joined the other groups, getting along well with them, in preparation for Robotnik's Doomsday Project.[9] When the Doomsday Project began, the Knothole Freedom Fighters seemingly succeeded in their mission when Sonic and Sally, with the aid of their allies, destroyed Robotnik and his Doomsday Machine.[10]

Tactics

The Knothole Freedom Fighters use guerrilla tactics as they do not have the numbers or the resources for a proper army.
